Eluze, do we have an open issue on the tracker for this incomplete
feature? Searching the tracker all I could find was:

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=2&q=ligature&colspec=ID+Type+Status+Stars+Owner+Patch+Needs+Summary&x=type&cells=tiles

all I could find were:

2042 Enhancement request for new representation of augmented pitch 
name/designation      

1918 possible bad output in mensural-ligatures.ly        

1916 lilypond should issue a warning regarding incorrect ligature

1879 Packed-spacing works improperly with Mensural_ligature_engraver and 
Vaticana_ligature_engraver

823 Enhancement: reimplement ligature brackets using a more appropriate 
interface        

and none of them seem to be specific to this problem.

Could you point me to an existing tracker? If not, I'll create a new
one for finishing off the ligature feature.

Cheers,
Colin.
